Bacterial counter
The idea is to use recombination to cut out or flip sections of DNA and use this to count or trigger the expression of genes.
Project Goal
The aim is to produce output as a function of cell division. This can have the added potential of performing programmed cell death after a determined number of divisions. We also hope to further analyse cell division and recombinase mechanisms.
Current Device Idea
This device should output a PoPS signal every time a cell division occurs This can then be hooked up to another device such as a counter.
